Barnes 36 gr Varminter Grenade
« on: April 08, 2007, 02:16:27 PM »
I just picked up some of these little bullets yesterday and got em loaded up today. I loaded em with 26 gr. of Varget. I hope that they will be halfway accurate. Anyone else try em out yet? I will try to let you guys know how they shoot. It will take me a while to get out and shoot em, but hopfully it will be soon.
Henry.

I've been looking at them but haven't tried 'em yet.  My 223 Ultra likes Nosler 40 gr. BTs over 27 grains of Varget, so your load sounds like a good place to start.

I've read that the bullets are not uniform in their weight both among and within bullets, but have not actually seen any results yet.  Keep us posted :)
